Resumo: The present study investigated the precariousness of the symbolic function in the adulthood of subjects who may present symbolic impoverishment through a coercive cultural environment. The justification for carrying out this research focuses on the need to bring psychoanalysis to a current environment and to new forms of suffering awakened by contemporary times. Based on the psychoanalytic method, the chapters are structured as: the first is dedicated to the process of symbolization based on Winnicott’s’ theory; the second is about the dialectical process and its relationship with symbolization, highlighting Ogden's ideas; the third addresses the vision of the philosopher Lipovetsky and contemporary authors on postmodernity in relation to the “era of emptiness”, in order to contextualize under which cultural conformity the symbolic function may become precarious; the fourth presents what Thales Ab'Saber conceptualizes about the cultural self and the false self as a currency of exchange, seeking to understand whether the false self in question can be established through an association with the “era of emptiness”, thus facilitating the symbolic emptying by a coercive cultural path. Other authors, such as Flávio Ferraz, Gilberto Safra and Marion Milner, were important in contextualizing the presented self, with studies focused on normopathy, the aesthetics of the self and the automatic self, respectively. The final considerations obtained through the study were that contemporary culture expresses something that no longer reflects the humanity of the subject. This is because there is currently an uprooting of creativity to the detriment of operational functionality, which does not present itself as a constructive activity, capable of provoking subjectivities, but rather as part of a social field accelerated by current media. Considering that the self happens in the world, it becomes evident that the culture of excess can, in effect, contribute to the emergence of significant losses in the relationship of the true self with the world
